Calibration and Qualification of Stability Chambers

Sept. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Why to attend:
   
Well performing stability chambers are most important to reliably predict shelf life specifications of drugs at different environmental conditions on the way from manufacturing to patients. FDA and international agencies expect  stability chambers to be qualified and calibrated to ensure proper performance when newly installed and over the length of a stability study. Even though this is well known since long time, laboratories are unsure on what exactly should be tested initially and on an on-going basis. During the seminar, the speaker will present cost-effective calibration and qualification strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help trouble-free implementation.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

* FDA and equivalent international requirements
* Examples for recent 483s and Warning Letters
* Selection and qualification model: ASTM E2500, USP 1058, V- or, 4-Q models
* Calibration/qualification phases: design qualification, specifications, installation & operational qualification/verification testing, on-going performance qualification
* Selecting parameters and acceptance limits for stability chambers testing
* Qualification for Photostability Testing Chambers
* Requalification after equipment changes (move, repair, firmware upgrade, hardware upgrade)
* Documentation requirements, e.g., humidity and temperature mapping
* Common pitfalls
* Sharing best practices
* Going through Most frequently asked questions
